HORLICKS MYSURPA

Fore warning: This has a zillion calories.True. You have to toil in the tread mill for a whole week for just one serving of it. This was a rage when introduced by SKC. But, now ,it is available at any corner store. Nothing like home made. I couldn't get the lighting right; that is why this blue tint. One thing i tweaked is, the recipe actually calls for full cream milk powder, i didn't have them handy, so i substituted with horlicks...:-).This has a melt in mouth texture, asking for more and more. I, with great restraint, had to pull myself out of the cupboard where this is stored.

I am going to limit this to festive delicacies from now. Too good for ordinary occasions. Now for the recipe.

Besan flour - 250 gms

Sugar - 500 gms

Ghee - 1 Kg (a whooping amount. Yes, but do not reduce)

Horlicks - 125 gms

Roast the flour in ghee for about 10mts.

Make sugar syrup of 1/2 string consistency.

Mix both together and put on the flame. Once the mixture comes together, add the horlicks and keep stirring untill it forms a big mass.
